T-Mobile opens India tech centre, to hire nearly 1,000 by 2027

US telecom operator T-Mobile opened its global capability center (GCC) in India on Thursday and plans to employ nearly 1,000 people by 2027, according to a statement ‌from ⁠an ⁠Indian state government.

Here are some details:

The ​tech centre was inaugurated in Hyderabad - capital of ​the southern Indian state of Telangana - where T-Mobile has leased 250,000 square ​feet of space, the ⁠state's IT ‌ministry said.


The country's ​GCCs ​have evolved from low-cost outsourcing ⁠hubs to local offices of global ​companies supporting their parent organisations ​in several functions.

The telecom company's employees at the GCC will build advanced capabilities across software engineering, DevOps, product development, data analytics, ‌cybersecurity, among others.

The city offers technology talent, innovation capabilities ​and an ​established ecosystem, ⁠Chandra Gupta, vice president of information technology at the tech centre, said in the ​statement.

Two-thirds of new GCCs in India choose Bengaluru and Hyderabad, according to a Nasscom-Zinnov report from May.
